The 2022 NFL season turned out to be a terrible campaign for the Packers, with Aaron Rodgers showcasing his worst-ever career performance. While their chances of playoff contention almost got over, the management needs to contemplate its future aspirations. Taking this into account, NFL analyst Colin Cowherd weighed his options and put forward some realistic possibilities.

It is visibly clear that the end is near for Aaron Rodgers as an NFL quarterback. Although he is still available for three more seasons, Rodgers might announce retirement anytime in the foreseeable future.

So, there is a need to find his successor and foster him to adapt to the Green Bay culture. Speaking honestly, there are only a few prospects in the current list of active players and getting them for the upcoming season looks improbable.

Meanwhile, his backup, Jordan Love, is speculated to step up; however, there are uncertainties about his capabilities as a starter. Even though he fared against some of the weak defenses, experts claim that elevating him to a full-time gig might hurt the Packers. Analyst Colin Cowherd recently discussed this issue and hinted at Rodgers’ return to wearing a Green and Gold jersey again.

He mentioned that having succession plans for elite QBs in the league is unrealistic, taking references to Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. “Do you really ever have a succession plan for Brady in his prime, or Mahomes, or burrow?” Cowherd asked.” You just roll with your star. If the biggest problem in your organization is you know, ‘we don’t have a succession plan for a Hall of Fame quarterback who’s still great, it ain’t a problem in the NFL.” he explained, giving his full support for the veteran.

Indeed, Rodgers’ slump this season can’t define him as a player because he has achieved a lot in his career. Even the management acknowledged this fact and vowed to try their best to keep the QB around.

This season, Rodgers led a young offensive unit with fresh talents out of college. Despite fumbling terribly, the veteran made sure he mentors them the right way and prepares his weapons for the future. His receiver corps filled with talents like Christan Watson and Romeo Doubs have improved a lot.

A few days ago, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and General manager Brian Gutekunst made their intentions clear for keeping Rodgers intact. “Surely, yeah, we want all our guys back,” Gutekunst said in an interview. “We made a big commitment to him this offseason, so that was important,” he added.

With a few games left to wrap up the season, it will be interesting to see how the team approaches each game ahead. Now it’s time for the coaching staff to test their depth chart and find new talents in the open market.
